A1 sauce "secret" recipe

What is A1 sauce?
It is a condiment for use with meat/game, as originally intended. We're vegetarians though, but love it on salads, specially potato salads - anything a little tart like that. This sauce, ofcourse, is vegetarian. I am going to try to explain the taste, to Tamilians reading this. It's a bit like "maavudu"'s water. And "maavudu" is the small-sized mango pickle thingy Tamilians are generally obsessed with during summertime (and in Tamilnadu, summertime is basically all year round).

My husband loves sauces and chutneys and pickles (pickle as defined in India, the substance that's full of salt and turmeric and other spices...). I am trying to expand my expertise in this area, and am starting with A1 sauce, for no particular reason...

A1 Sauce
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Raisins
1/4 Cup Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup White Vinegar
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp Bottled Grated Orange Peel
2 Tbsp Heinz Ketchup
2 Tbsp Heinz Chili Sauce
1. Bring to a boil for 2 minutes stirring.
2. Remove from heat. Allow to cool to lukewarm.
3. Put mixture in a blender till it is pureed. Pour in bottle.
4. Cap tightly and refrigerate to use within 90 days.
